PTC Creo in 3D Stereo

This brief guide will explain how to enable PTC Creo to work in 3D Stereo with the moreStereo3D Software.The guide is designed to be brief and yet covering all needed steps to enable PTC Creo to work in 3D Stereo. This is a one-time setup and not needed to be repeated once setup properly.

PTC Creo 3D Stereo Visualization with moreStereo3D

I. Configure Creo

1) Open your PTC Creo installation folder. Open the subdirectory "Common Files", next open the next subfolder named M0x0 (replace "x" with a number; e.g. M030) and finally open the subfolder "text". The complete path could look close to this: C:\Program Files\Creo\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M030\text

2) Open the file named "config.pro" with a text editor of your choice.

In case you have installed PTC Creo into a non-standard installation directory, please continue with step 5). If the more3D Stereo Enabler found your PTC Creo installation properly, please continue on step 11)

8) Click the "Add Application" Button.

9) Navigate to your PTC Creo installation directory. Open your PTC Creo installation folder. Open the subdirectory "Common Files", next open the next subfolder named M0x0 (replace "x" with a number; e.g. M030) and open the subfolder "x86e_win64" (for 64-Bit Versions. 32-Bit Versions might be called x86e_win32). Lastly open the folder named "obj".

The complete path could look close to this:C:\Program Files\Creo\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M030\x86e_win64\obj

10) Select the file "xtop.exe" and press "Open".

III. Start PTC Creo

12) Finally its time to PTC Creo and load a 3D Model.13) Thats it :)
